FactualOrion··on The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge
In the same vein that 'True Names' covered the last 10-20 years with AI, Anonymity, cyber crime, hacking, and virtual reality, I think 'Rainbows End' is our next 10-20 years.

FactualOrion··on AI language models can exceed PNG and FLAC in lossless compression, says study

FactualOrion··on Intermediate sci knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes
What do you mean by educating the doctors about medicines? I've seen people without degrees advocate for themselves as patients and be more knowledgeable about certain medications and treatments than doctors or nurses were.
FactualOrion··on Founder of crypto lender Celsius Network arrested, charged with fraud

FactualOrion··on MF FOOM: AI-generated MF DOOM songs
You will probably get better results using voice2voice models like RVC or Bark, that way the model is on beat for instace. This is how most AI covers of songs are made I believe. It's also easy to train an RVC model and use it on Google colab. Takes about 1-2 hours to train and 16 minute ebook can be generated in about 170 seconds for instance.

Long time lurker, I checked my old account that I had used scripts to EDIT and DELETE every post, I used this script 3+ years ago and my 4+ year old comments are BACK. Only 2 of them were visible from my user page but ALL of them are back on subreddits. I had to go hunt one down and BAM, there's my comment and name etc. This is CRAZY!
